Casper, Wyoming Property Tax Law

Laws of Casper, Wyoming require all property owners to pay a tax on the value of their property. Property taxes only apply to real property (as opposed to personal property). This includes land, buildings, and assets that are permanently or semi-permanently adhered to the land.

Property taxes in Casper, Wyoming are measured as a percentage of the appraised value of the property. Property taxes are paid to the state or local government at regular (usually yearly) intervals.

The federal government almost never imposes property taxes directly. Property taxes are collected nearly exclusively by state, county, and local governments.

How Property Tax is Calculated in Casper, Wyoming

Typically, Casper, Wyoming property taxes are determined as a percentage of the property's value. Tax rates vary widely, but they normally run from less than 1% up to about 5%.

In order to impose this tax, the government of Casper, Wyoming first has to determine the taxable value of a piece of property.

As you probably know, value is not always objective. For instance, the owners of family heirlooms typically place far more value on them than their objective monetary value. So tax officials have to be careful to only use objective criteria in valuing property for tax purposes.

To that end, the Casper, Wyoming employees in charge of appraising land look at objective facts to measure value, like the size of the land and any buildings on it, the way in which the land may legally be used (zoning), and the health of the local real estate market.

How A Casper, Wyoming Property Tax Attorney Can Help.

If you are engaged in a property tax dispute with the tax authorities of Casper, Wyoming, you should seek the assistance of a Casper, Wyoming tax attorney. Your attorney can help you prevent a small tax problem from turning into something much bigger and more expensive than it needs to be.

05/31/2012I was charged with DUI and Transportation of Drugs. Dan was able to get the drug charge dropped completely and I got the minimum mandatory sentence on the DUI. I'm so thankful he was able to help me out, as a student with a drug conviction I wouldn't have been able to receive financial aid. Now I can continue going to school without worrying about my student loans.

03/23/2012Dan L. is professional and knowledgeable, but also puts you at ease and makes you feel like you are dealing with a friend. He is very personable while maintaining his professionalism. He takes his time on the phone and in person to fully understand your situation or concern and doesn't put you on a time clock. The outcome of my court case was FAR BETTER than I could have hoped for without his representation.
No lawyer worth your money is cheap, but Dan's fees were very acceptable and he was willing to work out reasonable payment arrangements.
Would I hire him again? I already have, and will again if I have any need in the future. When I used to hear people say "I'll call MY lawyer", I would laugh and think "you mean you'll call A lawyer... maybe". Now, if I ever feel the need to say that, Dan L. will be getting my phone call!

10/19/2006Negotiable, friendly, outspoken. I'm very satisfied with Dan, he reduced a class A misdemeanor to just a violation. I'd have had 10 days in the house as well as an alcohol lesson plus probation but he managed to eliminate them all. I'd definitely hire him again if I ever get into another trouble (I hope not). Thank you Dan.

02/01/2006Daniel was very prompt, professional, and courteous to me. I didn't actually have him defend me, but he spent a very gracious amount of time with me on the phone to help me understand the charges and technical implications that I was facing. His assistance prevailed when the arraignment came up, I was able to make a very reasonable plea with the prosecutor, and in turn basically averted a Class A Misdeamonor! He was very willing to travel to meet me to discuss the matter. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone looking for a qualified lawyer who can get the job done effectively and practically, for a reasonable price. Thanks again Dan

01/12/2006My case was a fairly straightforward one and Daniel managed to get the least offensive outcome. The thing that impressed me was that he has a strong human quality, I just plain enjoyed talking with him. Something other lawyers don't seem to think is a nessessary trait in the legal arena but helps their clients state of mind tremendously. Bottom line; great person, great lawyer for a reasonable fee.

01/12/2006Dan was very organized, and extremely professional. Because of his skill in working with the DA and trooper in my moving violation case, the case was dismissed.
I intend to retain Dan for anticipated real estate and family law issues.
